Japanese Version "Dollar Store"

One of many questions I'm asked by the guests of Maeniiya Guesthouse is about "100 yen" shops. There are many 100 yen shops in Kyoto, but the one I like is Seria.

The shop is in Shin-Kyogoku Shopping district near Shijo, and they have a wide range, good quality products.

They have lots of Valentine related products at this time.

Seria is a good chain, but my favourite would have to be the Daiso chain for their variety and large stores.

I`m from Romania, and here is a version of dollar store called 3.8 lei( lei is the national currency, lei translated in english is lion) , which is about 1 dollar and is a very successfull store.
